President Obama to speak at BTW's graduation in Memphis
A Memphis High School is the winner of a competition to land President Barack Obama as its commencement speaker.
Tuesday, the White House announced that President Obama will speak at Booker T. Washington High School's graduation ceremony in Memphis. The school is the winner of the White House's Race to the Top Commencement Challenge.
BTW started as one of hundreds of schools across the nation to participate in the contest. After the competition was narrowed to six finalists, the White House held a poll on its website to reduce that number to three.

But GEEEEE, wonder what made those kids in Memphis want him there????

Memphis will be more of a zoo than ever.
There, fixed it for you. Between river gawkers and the Faker in Chief in town, it'll be impossible to move around here on 4 wheels.
Hope I'm out of town fishing somewhere and don't have to go to work.
By that statement, you've already qualified for a front row seat at the commencement address.
